No it's super casual!Planning on attending the student Q&A session today, is formal attire the norm?
Do they do Fridays?ok 12/13 crew today was not the day, I guess we wait more :')
wondering the same thinganymore iis?
As someone who went to UVM undergrad and knows a bunch of people at Larner, do VT campus if you have no ties to CT. In one of the student Q&As, someone asked about applying to competitive specialties from CT. The CT student said āI think I heard of someone matching ophthalmology last yearā¦āCan anyone sum up the difference between Vermont and Connecticut campuses?
I am OOS with no ties to either. Interested in continuing research through school.
While it is early to say, I will probably end up pursuing a "competitive" specialty, possibly ENT.
Thoughts?
Oop yeah I think they only need you to disclose stuff other than traffic violations, good on you for being honest though! Shows character!!Im thinking I should not have fessed up to my speeding ticket in their secondary I wish VT gave me some love. I'm guessing they are done with their interviews?

This reminded me, I meant to say this for people submitting apps next year. I disclosed a speeding ticket to UVM and a few other schools that asked and got interviews at 2 of those schools, so for next year's class of nervous applicants, I really don't think it matters or affects interview chances. I think they just want to make sure you don't have like 10 speeding tickets or anything crazy lol.Oop yeah I think they only need you to disclose stuff other than traffic violations, good on you for being honest though!

Yes, I think it's totally fine! They said in the email we can keep them updated on our activities so you can build it as an update letter as well.Does anyone know if it is advisable to send in a letter of intent/continued interest while on DD status? For info I interviewed early October and have been on DD since December.
Unfortunately I don't have any meaningful update to provide šYes, I think it's totally fine! They said in the email we can keep them updated on our activities so you can build it as an update letter as well.
What even counts as a meaningful update, I have a letter of intent/update that Iāve written that just has one āmeaningfulā update, but what does that even mean to these people. Venting a bit because frustrated but ya knowUnfortunately I don't have any meaningful update to provide š
I think the point of updates leters and interest letters are to let a school know you are still interested and care enough to share ongoing things with them. I think very few people have updates so impactful that they move the needle on their app.What even counts as a meaningful update, I have a letter of intent/update that Iāve written that just has one āmeaningfulā update, but what does that even mean to these people.

How spaced apart do we think update letters/letter of intent should be to be most effective? I'm sure there are a lot of us on DD who are willing to send a letter of intent. When do we think is the most effective time to send one? Part of me wants to keep the letter of intent in my back pocket for if I get WL because I feel like a LOI would have more effect for WL movement than DD movement but i'm flying blind with how this DD movement works. seems like a lot of people get an A without even sending anything.I think the point of updates leters and interest letters are to let a school know you are still interested and care enough to share ongoing things with them.

I think if you are on the WL for a while then a letter of intent/interest may help, but I can't imagine it would be much different than sending it now while on DD.How spaced apart do we think update letters/letter of intent should be to be most effective?

Iāve been involved in the same two positions I was in when I submitted my primary. So for me, a meaningful update would be if I had a new activity, publication, or recognition etcWhat even counts as a meaningful update, I have a letter of intent/update that Iāve written that just has one āmeaningfulā update, but what does that even mean to these people.

Bro legitimagine being pranked by your 800th student ambassador email (me 30 seconds ago)
OOS Pre-II R, sad about this one
OOS Pre II R. Knew it was coming but still stings
8/15When were you complete ?
+1Pre-II R. They're done for the cycle.
Cant get em all hahaOOS R
I'm on week 13 and admissions told me they already made a decision so i'm really hoping it's today :')Do we expect post-II decision movement today/tomorrow since the March 15 deadline is approaching or is that wishful thinking?
I'm at a mere 7 weeks post interview so buckling up to wait a lot longer
They told you they already made decisions? Whatās the hold up then lolI'm on week 13 and admissions told me they already made a decision so i'm really hoping it's today :')
Yeah I asked about it because 12/13 was skipped in the last wave and they told me i would hear in march/april lol. But they only meet once a month so it could be the next two weeks also :|They told you they already made decisions? Whatās the hold up then lol
Such a bizarre process. I interviewed early Jan so Iām hoping to hear back by end of the month tooYeah I asked about it because 12/13 was skipped in the last wave and they told me i would hear in march/april lol. But they only meet once a month so it could be the next two weeks also :|
